Rect Transform values get reset when creating a Canvas Prefab through the Project Window

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached "BrokenCanvasPrefabVariants" project
2. In the Project window, right click on the "Canvas" Prefab and select Create -> Prefab Variant
3. Click on the created Prefab to open its' Inspector window
4. Observe the results

Expected results: Rect Transform values do not get reset
Actual results: Rect Transform values get reset

Reproducible with: 2021.3.34f1, 2022.3.18f1, 2023.2.7f1, 2023.3.0b4

Reproducible on: Windows 11 Pro
Not reproducible on: No other environments tested

Notes:
- This does not happen when creating a Prefab Variant by dragging from the Hierarchy window
- When creating the Prefab Variant an "Assertion failed on expression: 'modifications.empty()'" error appears in the Console

  1. Resolution Note:

    When creating Prefab Variants we have decided that the Prefab Variant has default overrides set like Prefab instances has. And we have decided to clear the overridden position to (0,0,0) by default for Prefab Assets.

    If you want to use the base Prefab position for the Variant then you can right click on the root Position in the Inspector and select Revert in the context menu. Then the Variant prefab will inherit whatever position the base prefab has.

    Note: We will fix the assertion error in the Console mentioned in the bug report.
